    Wallpaper gone bad (looks like there's a crack in the wall)
    Hi, yesterday I started painting my walls white (which I wish I hadn't now) basically I started painting over a wall paper which has been painted on several times in the past, so the wall paper became "blotchy" leaving me to peel of the wall paper on one side of the wall (including some of the plaster! ) , now I've painted the wall again, and where the wall papers cut to the wall t looks like I have a crack in the wall...


    What can I do? Cover it with wall paper, I refuse to strip the rest of the walls where I've painted, as it started removing the plaster, making painting life "hell".

    Ive attached some photo's if it helps.

    Many Thanks

    Smooth over the transition to the wall paper with dry wall joint compound.
